Three New Tracks–Expanding Student Opportunities, Tailoring the Experience to Your Interests

In 2015, the Institute announced that the BioGENEius Challenges expanded into three new Challenge tracks, giving students more opportunities than ever before to apply, earn recognition and win awards for their projects:

We challenge you to come up with new and diverse project ideas in these three areas. Our judges, selected for their knowledge, talent and experience in each of the three areas, will focus and tailor their feedback to each student’s project.

*Please remember each Challenge has its own deadline listed on its respective webpage.
